    Agreeing with communism = peak liberalism. Makes perfect sense.

    I mean no (developed, non-indigenous) society has successfully implemented communism. I don’t think that should be a controversial statement. So is it that wild to say you don’t know how to implement it, even as a communist? The only reason it would seem that way is if you’ve taken the writings of communist thinkers not as theoretical proposals but as scripture that cannot be incorrect.

    Note: I don’t encourage brigading the Slop community. And if you do decide to lurk there, dont forget your Bingo card about crap tankies say like “lib/shitlib/turbolib”, “critical support for [insert anti-queer oligarchy here]” and “CIA”.

      Given Hexbear’s toxicity, it’s not even worth brigading. I didn’t touch any comment even after they tagged me in Slop just to insult me a while back. Every regular here knows their upvotes for each other are a meaningless echo chamber anyway, as they silence dissent.

      Eh, I don’t have access from this acct and can’t be bothered. Its a certified loony bin over there anyhow.

      But to be clear, the reason I know they aren’t communist. Is because I know how to implement communism. One of the most important steps is to abolish the state. It’s classless and stateless. Marx and others wrote about the need for capitalism Etc to theoretically facilitate the conditions for that to happen. But they never defined communism as being capitalism. It was always a post capitalism, post state condition.

      But they aren’t claiming that they are creating the necessary conditions. ThEy’Re CoMmUnIsT! It’S AES already silly lib! Only it’s not. And never has been much more socialist than the US of the 40s and 50s. Which, we should definitely get back to. But it wasn’t communism either.

      There is a possibly that perhaps they could be referring to DB0 as well. They made a post of a linked video yesterday. Calling out ML as never having created communism either. Just capitalism and fascism.

          2 depends on how a group defines that utopia. It’s not going to be identical for 2 different groups. Which is a serious problem regarding ML and their one state fit all solution. It doesn’t.

        A quick addendum this is the video DB0 posted. I don’t know the streamer and haven’t watched the video yet myself. But there was a good bit of salt in the resultant thread. The video title after all was

        Authoritarian leftism only achieves capitalism.
